I posted a 3day workout in this site, have a search for it. @Luke. Training WITHIN your current strength limits will not increase strength. So performing 6 reps of an certain weight, then 8 reps next time round, then 10 reps, NOT to failure (and so on....) will do little or nothing for growth since increases in strength and mass are a defensive adaptation that only takes place once a critical threshold of intensity is reached. Sure, a progression took place but the body is not interested in the figures you input on your workout log, it responds to the intensity of the work. @bodypumper.

Sustaining a normal musculature is expensive enough calorie-wise; building MORE muscle is therefore not desirable from the body’s point of view. This is why you HAVE to give the body a damn good reason for it to build more muscle.

If your goal is to build muscle mass, the added cardio and bodypump class would be counterproductive and ensure that you are spending too much time in recovery and not allowing new growth. However, perhaps your goal is general fitness, in which case it's a fairly decent plan. If fat loss is your priority, remember that diet is the most important factor in this. @bodypumper.
